Professor position, beginning August 2010. Applicants must have a Ph.D.
degree in hand or expected by August 2010 in Arabic, French, linguistics or
equivalent (ABD may be considered for appointment at the instructor rank).
We are looking for an energetic individual eager to develop an Arabic
program and contribute to a thriving French program. The candidate is
expected to supervise the Arabic program, teach undergraduate courses in
Arabic language and culture, and French linguistics. Ability to teach
Arabic and/or Francophone culture courses in English preferred. Native or
near-native proficiency in Arabic, French and English, and excellent

Teaching Assistant Professors at WVU are eligible for promotion, however
promotion to senior ranks is not a requirement for institutional commitment
and career stability in a Teaching Faculty appointment. There is no
research expectation for the Teaching professor track.

curriculum vita, evidence of teaching performance, and three letters of
recommendation to the application address below. Review of applications
